RICHARD CARRUTHERS Obituary
CARRUTHERS, RICHARD GEORGE It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Richard George Carruthers, on February 26, 2020, in Guelph. Beloved husband of over 56 years to Sharon, father to Lawrie and Wendy, father-in-law to David and Luis, grandfather to Claire, Miranda, Marisol and Gabriel. Raised in the Kingsway and longtime resident of Erindale Village in Mississauga, "Dick" was also a loving son, a brother and a cherished friend. Long-standing and proud member of the Mississauga Rotary Club and Erindale United Church. Legendary raconteur, less-legendary singer and unofficial mayor of Koshlong Lake in Haliburton. Dick loved his family, his friends, his cottage and his community and his absence will be felt by all. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Erindale United Church (erindaleunited.church). A memorial service will take place on Monday, March 23, 2020 at the chapel at The Village at Arbour Trails in Guelph from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 519-822-0051 or www.wallcustance.com

Farewell to a long-ago friend. Met Dick and brother Bruce in the early 1950s when my family moved to the Kingsway. Our lives centered on usual teen-age past-time with a major in cars. The Carruthers brothers contributed in so many ways - with our work parties on old Fords and hearses, unforgettable trips to Haliburton, and dances at the Dirty Boot. We kept in occasional touch through mutual friends, but wish I had seen more of Dick in the last couple of decades - we moved to Nova Scotia. Rest in Peace.
